Extractions: Fay-Cooper Cole William Jones did much of his work in the Philippines. After spending 16 months doing fieldwork among the Ilongots, he was assassinated. It began because of a dispute over transportation. Towards the end of his research, Dr. Jones had packed all of his specimens into crates and arranged with the Ilongots for the crates to be brought down the Cagayan River on bamboo rafts called balsas. The shipments for the Field Museum were to be brought from Dumobato to Echague and then to Manila. The three men responsible for his murder where caught and sentenced to death, but the Supreme Court reduced the punishment to 17 years and four months imprisonment and a fine to be paid to the heirs of Jones. The ruling was due to the mens wild nature and ignorance of the laws. In fact, the men served nothing because during their transfer to the Bilibid Prison in Manila, they escaped. In retaliation, Lt. Turnbull ordered the houses of Ilongots in the area of Jones death to be torched. As a result, a minor civil war broke out, turning Ilongots against their fellow Ilongots. The blame was pointed at the community of the murderers, and Ilongot heads were taken by rival Ilongots and delivered to the authorities, who just looked the other way. http://www.inq7.net/issues/feb2001/feb23/opinion/ambet.htm#top
